1951
Chevrolet Fleetline is a full-sized automobile, produced in the US in the 1941—1942 and 1947—1952 model years.
In the 1941/42 model years, the 216cid inline 6 "Blue Flame" engine was the only one offered. It produced 85 horsepower at 3,300 rpm. A Fleetline of this vintage could easily exceed 80 miles per hour without overdrive. In very early models, the transmission was a manual synchromesh 3-speed, with vacuum assisted shift. From 1950 through the 1952 final year of its production, an automatic transmission was offered, which was quite sluggish. Overdrive was a rare option. The brakes were hydraulic with all-wheel drums and the shock absorbers were of the lever type. The windscreen-wipers were moved by a vacuum switch on the dash panel, the windshield washers were offered as an option, and for the last years they became a standard equipment of the DeLuxe model.
There were produced 57,693 items of Fleetline Deluxe - 4 Door Sedan.
